Manchester City Officially Unveil Their Home Kit for the 2013-14 Season [PHOTOS]

Manchester City have officially unveiled their new home kit for the 2013-14 season.

City, who just bought a MLS franchise today to become the majority owner of New York City FC, today launched their new kit to coincide with their tour of the United States where they’ll wear the new kit on Thursday in St. Louis and on Saturday in New York City.

Designed by Nike, the new Manchester City home shirt is sky blue with dark blue and white trim. The design of the jersey is simple, clean and effective.

The new shirt is part of a new six-year deal with Nike that will see the American company continuing to create shirts for City through 2019.

I agree with The Gaffer. It is simple, clean and effective. Loved City’s kit from past season, big fan of collars on kits. I think the dark blue on sleeves and collar really tightens and cleans up the design of the kit. And if anyone has seen possible away or third this looks really good. Heard the red black away on internet isn’t real and I pry that is true.

Forgot to say, the badge looks like a complete four letter bowl movement. Looks cheap and tacky whereas Umbro’s badges always looked like time and effort put into. This is cheap and mass produced. Other than badge kit is clean and effective.

The England shirt is too stark. Practically the only color on the England shirt is the navy blue collar (other than the gold crest). They could have at least designed something at the bottom of the sleeve to not make it look so ordinary.

The more I look at it, the more I like it, but I just can’t past the badge, just too knockoff looking. Umbro has the better designs, but Nike’s kits are more comfortable to wear, if that counts for anything………

The city kit is a classic blue kit, the england kit is the american centenary with a different badge. Same colors and everything. Massive difference between the two. Smokey Bacon how many different kit templates does Nike have? I’d say three or four tops, you just hope for a decent colors. As for away I hope it is the link The Gaffer posted and not the one seen on other sites (http://www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/potential-manchester-city-201314-away-kit_19483)
I know people say it isn’t real, but I do not trust Nike.

Nice kit. Horrible badge. Franny Lee said city did not own the rights to the old badge, (rose & ship crest), when he took over. Surely now the owners can buy it back. If the old crest was on this kit it would be a winner.

A few years ago, this would have been a great kit. After Umbria 2012-2013 kit though, this seems mediocre. Nike is trying to keep their profit margins high and could care less about putting effort and a little money into a kit. That being said, it is not a bad kit, just a downgrade.

The kit too me looks pretty smart, last seasons black on blue was ok but the materials felt cheap and slmost every fan i spoke too said it was ill fittong so nike should be way ahead in that respect. As for the badge, i think it looks good, very clear and the sheild draws your attention to it. It really stands out which is what were trying to achieve isn’t it?
